Abstract

Using recent data on the unvaccinated population across US states, this paper focuses on the determinants of vaccine hesitancy related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings show that more prosperous states and states with more elderly residents and more physicians have lower vaccine hesitancy. There was some evidence of the significance of race, but internet access and history of other contagious diseases failed to make a difference. States with centralized health systems and those with mask mandates generally had a lower percentage of unvaccinated populations. Finally, the presence of Democrats in state legislatures tended to lower vaccination hesitancies, ceteris paribus.

解释疫苗犹豫:一项针对美国的COVID-19研究

本文利用美国各州未接种疫苗人口的最新数据，重点研究了与COVID-19大流行相关的疫苗犹豫的决定因素。研究结果表明，越是繁荣的州和老年居民越多、医生越多的州，对疫苗的犹豫就越低。有一些证据表明种族的重要性，但互联网接入和其他传染病的历史并没有产生影响。拥有集中式卫生系统的州和要求戴口罩的州，未接种疫苗的人口比例通常较低。最后，在其他条件不变的情况下，民主党人在州立法机构的存在往往会降低接种疫苗的犹豫。

期刊介绍： Managerial and Decision Economics will publish articles applying economic reasoning to managerial decision-making and management strategy.Management strategy concerns practical decisions that managers face about how to compete, how to succeed, and how to organize to achieve their goals. Economic thinking and analysis provides a critical foundation for strategic decision-making across a variety of dimensions. For example, economic insights may help in determining which activities to outsource and which to perfom internally. They can help unravel questions regarding what drives performance differences among firms and what allows these differences to persist. They can contribute to an appreciation of how industries, organizations, and capabilities evolve.
